This week is I LOVE TO READ WEEK! Today, Miss Lloyd read Oh, The Places You'll Go! During reader's workshop we made Dr. Seuss balloons and we wrote about what we want to be when we grow up! This week, on Thursday is Dr. Seuss's Birthday! We will be reading a lot of Dr. Seuss books this week. We had a lot of fun in music. We learned music notes up to eight. Yesterday was Kacie's Birthday! Happy Birthday, Kacie! We celebrated with cookies during lunch. Thanks Kacie!!

Science-States of Matter

We have been learning about the states of matter: liquids, solids, and gases. We have been exploring some pretty fun materials and deciding if they are liquids or solids. We discovered that sometimes it's not so easy! We learned that when solids and liquids combine they form colloids like toothpaste, shaving cream, and glook!

Bryson deciding if glook is a solid or a liquid.

Groundhog Day

Groundhog day in first grade was a lot of fun! We got to pet a real groundhog and made a craft to take home!

We did a little writing on Groundhog Day! Most of us wanted spring to come early-I guess that's not likely!

Thanks Oliver for sharing the groundhog with us!

100th Day of School!!
